Some of included applications:
From woof sfsget with menu launching in setup.
For compiling and pet making, there is pupconf (puppy spesific ./configure), strippkg, newer strippkg2 ( advancecomp and optipng recompression apps are included ), splitpkpg for splitting, alien2puppy, unrar and unrpm

Snow Puppy comes with 2.6.35.7.
Kernel is compiled with smp, hyperthreading, rfkill, suspend to ram and hibernate to disk enabled.

SnowPuppy-017 15.5.2011 is the 17. version, woof builded Lucid 511 using 13.5.2011 uploaded woof so it has updated packages from woof on that date.

Iso size 235 Mb.

Pidgin, Xfe , Pmusic, Pburn and Pschedule has been updated to the latest versions. Thank you Barry Kauler, zigbert and dejan555.
Radky`s PupApp, Pupcontrol, PupShutdown, PupClockset and PupSnap are updated to the latest. Thank you radky for these nice apps.

Main focus is laptop and desktop use with enough ram and cpu. Xorg_high/mesa-dri is included in the distro.

I have added sfs on the fly application, made by Shinobar. It is still on going project. Just right click sfs file and click sfs load.

Snow Puppy has laptop scripts copied from Fluppy for good laptop support.
Also it has multimedia Fn+ play, Fn + stop etc.. enabled. They launch deadbeef player. Print screen button launches mtpaint-snapshot. Acpitool is included so Fn + zz suspends to ram after you have connected to net first time. It is dependent of that because of shutting net connection before suspending. I can change that behavior to launch simply acpitool -s and acpitool -S if needed.

Snow Puppy has more apps than basic distro. Snapshots are included below. Sit Heels Speak font improvement package is included, more than usual jwm-, gtk-, and icon themes. Also plenty of backgrounds.

For wired and wireless and net connections there is new Frisbee. For ndiswrapper usage there is relevant scripts and gui.

Firefox is the preinstalled browser. Install whatever browser more as your preferences go. Lucid Quickpet is included as updated version.

There is no email client. Install whatever you wish, or do as I, I have Thunderbird on own folder in /mnt/home and only symlink to /root and executable dragged to the desktop. One email client for all puppies.

Default image viewer is Geeqie, because it rotates pictures automatically and it has scripts to launch gimp, fotoxx and mtpaint for editing straight from leftside file browser and it has big preview screen on the right side. But there are those others also, gimp is included for real editing. Changing default applications: Go to /usr/local/bin and right click defaultapplication file you want to change, remove the name of application and replace it with app name you want to use.

Streamtuner2 is added with Python. So atm python apps should work straight if they dont need extra modules.

Special thanks to Barry Kauler, Playdayz, Jemimah, micko01, ttuuxxx and Iguleder for great Puppy distros, guidelines and applications.

I think this is still beta quality, so bug reports are needed and are essential for making this derivative better.

Nice software selection, Firefox, VLC, and good job that you've activated the package manager to have ubuntu repos access.
I will test it more thoroughly with time, but so far, so good.
This brand new kernel kiks @$$ !
Hope your son gets better soon._________________Don't poop it down... Pup it Up !

Kernel differs from original Lucid 511 kernel so that hyperthreading, rfkill and hibernate to disk is enabled. Wcpufreq shows processors up to 8 and hyperthreading enables frequency scaling for all processors up to 8.

SnowPuppy is updated to 23122010 version. Snowpuppy in ftp site with that date is kernel 2.6.35.7 version first.

I updated Snowpuppy to have acpid so that power button in laptops shuts down.

I included Jemimah`s new Frisbee for wireless and wired connections. Frisbee is sequel to Pwireless2. Works fine for me.

I also included Jemimah`s fixed Vattery which now works in Lucid puppies. It warns when your battery is in warning level or critical level and you can also make it to execute shutdown when battery is in critical level. Havent tested that though. It also informs with tiptop in tray the battery time left and other information.

Snowpuppy 513RC-004 28.12.2010 is the fourth version, woof builded Lucid 511 using 22.12.2010 uploaded woof so it has updated packages from woof on that date.

From the first build I have made biggest change in removing Songbird. It doesnt handle shoutcast streams anymore reliably. I took tazocs Streamtuner2.sfs and stripped it down and then included smaller functional Python2.6 with Streamtuner2 in to the build. So atm python apps works straight if they dont need extra modules. Pygtk is included already.
Xvidcap-1.1.7 is removed because it has problems with audio. Now python app Gtk-RecordMyDesktop works just by installing the pet http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/Gtk-RecordMyDesktop-0.3.8-Lucid.pet

your Snow and Jemimah's Fluppy are the only Puppies that boot consistently and all the others even Inpu by IguLeder does fail to boot at times.

Was that more due to pureluck or did you know that some Netbooks needed some changes in the set up of boot procedure and that that was why you made use of Fluppy and Inpu as inspiration?

Another naive question. Now that Jemimah has shown that the way she does it boots everything then why can not the other Devs set up their Puppies in the same way so them also boot every computer sold at the Mass Market Stores all over Europe? Acer Aspire One and such Netbooks?_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I dont have any magic juice in my build. This is build by using playdayz templates and specs as base, downloads from the lucid ubuntu repos, latest woof apps and barrys additions and my own additions including my compiled kernel. So I mostly added my woofed additions to specs, made my own packages-puppy-pemasu-official file and through it added apps to woof build so that I can easily add, change and remove single packages.

I have used Fluppy series derivatives from the beginning and found laptop improvements there which lacks from other derivatives or official versions. Iguleders all production has also been under my keen interest and I have followed it closely. Both are great developers.

It is great, that it works for you, but I dont have ability or knowledge to do things better than Jemimah, Iguleder or Barry Kauler, far from it.

When I do Setup and click on
Configure Puppy for your country then nothing happens.

What could I do to repair that one. I do not remember if it has been working though. Apart from that I like your Snowy Puppy_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

Problem with snow puppy RC 4.0
Losing wifi connection after a couple of minutes. (works fine until it happens).
I'm using rt3070sta-k26305-2.pet driver with my Acer Aspire One netbook.
Installed on a GB usb stick._________________Don't poop it down... Pup it Up !

eztuxer, it would be small wonder if you can get 2.6.30.5 kernel driver to work with kernel 2.6.35.7. You could remove the pet or boot pfix=ram and then lsmod | grep rt* in console to see if there is already kernel driver installed. To check if there is some module in use or just lsmod and scroll the modules. There does not seem to be rt3070 kernel module driver in distro unfortunately.

But I think it is wireless driver issue. Did you use frisbee for wireless connections ?. It has been most reliable for me. I have had issues with ath9k in some kernel versions and pwireless2 and this sequel frisbee keeps the connection best.

OOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!
Wrong kernel (I have the same problem with 519)
I didn't use frisbee, just the old connection wizard, but what is really deceiving is that it worked for a few minutes, I've tried it a few times, on netbook & desktop.
I'll have to stick with 511 until a new .pet comes out.
That's where I need your help
